Nature writer, broadcaster and television producer Stephen Moss explains how he began to observe and record his local wildlife during the pandemic lockdown of spring 2020.
Moss describes walks with his Labrador Rosie as they discovered the butterflies, bumblebees and birdsong on their daily exercise. And he explains how the pandemic has changed the way we relate to the natural world and given us hope for the future at a dark time in our lives. He says the new normal should be a world in which the many species around us enjoy a land less lived in by humans.
Moss is one of the UK’s leading nature writers and broadcasters. His television work includes Springwatch and The Nature of Britain.
